Reviews
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Michael Ledo The story starts out rather cleverly on Easter morning. It contrasts roommates, Hank and Mike on how they spend the night of their biggest day in their career. Mike is fast asleep in bed while Hank smokes cigarettes, drinks beer and abuses himself to a scrambled porno movie. Clearly they are the "odd couple." As fate would have it, they miss the last house on their route (they do a lot of breaking and entering). Since the company has opted to downsize, they find themselves out of a job. Now Easter Bunnies in the workforce is a funny thing. They work for UPS, but hide the packages. They work for a school and serve the kids chocolate. Unfortunately their work failures due to being an Easter Bunny is in the form of a montage and not really exploited to its comic potential. After Hank pawns Mike's Golden Egg award, the movie becomes dark as each one must now deal with their failure resorting to drink and drugs. The bunny aspect no longer plays a role as they become any two losers and the movie becomes boring. It remains boring up until the very end when they devise a plan to get their jobs back. Nudity, language, simulated sex (mostly in the first half). Decent soundtrack.
cyndibar It's too bad they felt a need to make this an R rated movie. Even though it was a little dark, and it was full of great intellectual humor, there was enough situational humor that I think it could have been a mainstream holiday hit. It's not for little kids, obviously, but I have older nieces and nephews (even as young as 10) who would have thought this movie was hysterical. I hate the fact that I can't recommend it to my sister and other people with kids because the language and sexual activity is so foul. I loved it.For those people who thought it wasn't funny - I'm thinking you didn't get it.
rubytroy I'd say this movie was worth watching thanks to the humor and whole concept of it all. I just like how confused at first I was what with guys in bunny costumes, but when I realized they WERE the easter bunnies it put a whole different perspective on the way this film was approached. It was meant to be a comedy. I thought the guys did a great job with their roles and in the suits they were wearing. Me & my roommate especially love the scene when the self-centered business guy is singing at the bar. Its great! Though, that scene does not actually add much to the story/plot it is incredibly entertaining. There may be some holes in the overall story including the whole easter bunny middle aged men scenario that isn't ever explained. I think it adds character to the flick, leaves room for interpretation & conversation. As a whole I like this movie a lot, and would definitely recommend anyone who likes kinda slow but comedic dialogue. I enjoyed it, hope you do too.
Vegaschic8 OK, so I saw all the negative comments about the plot summary for this movie on the message boards and just had to write a little review. This movie was listed on the Cinevegas schedule and I had no intention of going to see it, but there was nothing else going on, so I went with two friends that read the summary and felt the same way I did, "this is gonna suck." Were we totally wrong. The whole theater laughed from start to finish! Hank and Mike are two Easter bunnies that work one day out of the year delivering chocolate Easter eggs to the children on their route because of the "No Child Left Behind" act. Chris Klein's character sees the potential to turn a profit on Easter by laying off some Easter bunnies and selling advertising on the chocolate easter egg wrappers; thus, Hank and Mike get laid off, leaving them with a problem...what other occupation can a Easter bunny do? We then follow Hank and Mike along while they look for a new job and figure out how to get their old one back. Well, my summary doesn't make the movie sound any better, but this is a tongue in cheek comedy with some really racy humor. Hank played by Thomas Michael has so many great one-liners, me and my friends are still laughing about some of them. I believe he pretty much carried the movie as the horny, beer drinking, chain smoking Easter bunny. Chris Klein was OK in this movie, he had one great part where he sings in a lounge a really unromantic love song, I laughed so hard, I cried.If you like comedies and get the chance to see this movie, go see it, or at least rent it if you see it at the video store because it is worth it, it's hilarious. You should take my word, because I never write movie reviews on here.
